    Hey Darnetta and thanks for the recommendation. The next time I update the list I will include that one.

    Fifth Born by Zelda Lockhart would be a good choice for its sexual abuse content and if mental illness is considered, then 24 Hour Hold by BMC! Great list!

    Thanks Lena and I will add it to the line up.
